Hudsons at Automobile Shows

Jon B

A photo from the Hudson booth at the 1951 Chicago Auto Show.  I think this and/or other auto show photos may have been shown on this forum a few years back, but we have some newer members who haven't seen them.  Maybe someone else can post some photos of Hudsons at other car shows, as well.





Here are some new Hudsons on display at the 1910 Chicago show...




...Shifting to a different scale, we see a present-day restoration of one of the
detailed metal models that Hudson displayed at the New York Auto Show of
1932, at the Waldorf-Astoria.  This is one of several models still
extant.  Some of the cars were also displayed at Hudsons' booth at the
Century of Progress exposition in Chicago in 1933.



...And now, back to  the 1954 Chicago Auto Show....




Now we jump back in time to the Hudson booth at the 1936 Chicago Show. No, this isn't a display malfunction, it's a "rotisserie" that revolves a new Hudson to show the underside.





Here's a Hudson at the American Motors booth, at the '56 Chicago show, during booth set-up:




Hudson's offerings are shown at the right side of the photo, at the 1935 Chicago show.

Thanks for sharing these.

The cutaway Hudson on the left of the 1951 picture would be neat to see.  Too bad someone was walking in front of it while the shot was being taken.  I wonder if it or others like it are still around anywhere.

On the model, they did one like that on American Restoration a few months back.  According to them, there were 12 made and 7 are accounted for.

OH, to be able to go back in time and visit these shows!  Well, at least I was able to go with my parents to the 1965 Chicago Car Show at the old McCormick Place before it burned down!
